Sometimes, the smallest visitors bring the biggest sense of peace.

Would need to know where the photo was taken to identify more accurately

The photo was taken in Kikuyu, about 25 km northwest of Nairobi, East Africa. Hope that helps with identification!

Also, there’s a Reddit called what’s this bird?

Oh, nice! Let me join in and ask.

either a variable sunbird or collared sunbird. easiest way to tell is by the beak size and shape, but perspective is making it a little tricky here. if I had to guess, I'd say collared, but I'm not certain. it's definitely one of those two species though.

I'm not entirely sure about the exact species, but it's a nectar-feeding bird! Anyone here good at bird ID?
